Acupuncture
What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that originated in China over 2,000 years ago. It is a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is based on the concept of balancing the body's vital energy, known as Qi (pronounced chee). Qi flows through pathways called meridians, and disruptions or blockages in this flow can lead to pain, illness, or imbalance.
Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body to restore balance, stimulate healing, and promote overall wellness. It is a holistic approach that addresses not just physical symptoms but also emotional and mental well-being.
